Fall 2023 - This was one of my favorite classes that I've taken at UCLA! Lectures were held in person but you didn't necessarily have to be there because they were recorded. I personally enjoyed going. Assignments include weekly reading responses (not too bad, sometimes fun), a final research project (very fun because you get to choose your own topic), and one other paper around midterms that includes a visual aspect (also fun). I really enjoyed the content of this course and how an attempt was made to make it more fun through little comments and more creative coursework. I loved my TA Patty as well. Overall, would recommend.

Winter 2024 - Professor Hunter is passionate about the material, but his lectures are boring—luckily, you don't ever have to go to them. This class is graded entirely by TAs on essays/projects and discussion participation. You will be expected to read (you can skim) a few articles every week, write Canvas discussion posts about them, and talk about them in discussion. There is also a manifesto project and final essay, which make up almost all of the grade. My TA Ren was reasonable and approachable, and also a very fair grader. And even though this was an easy GE at the end of the day, it was still very interesting.
